This bittersweet song from 1967 is a real classic, partly due to the rendition by two queens of soul, Dionne Warwick and later also Aretha Franklin. The theme was very topical at the time: A woman is concerned about her husband fighting in the Vietnam War, and thinks about him during her day-to-day worries. Top arranger Peter Kleine Schaars created a tasteful and carefully orchestrated version. His arrangement stays true to the original colour and feel of the song, and, as a grade 3 piece, is still perfectly playable for most bands.

Le premier motif de cette pi?ce refl?te la majest? de la ?couronne? de montagnes entourant Cortina. Il est suivi d?un th?me lyrique qui ?voque la tranquillit? du cadre ainsi que les maisons nich?es dans la vall?e. De retour en ville nous entendons les accents joyeux de l?harmonie locale qui joue pour les vacanciers descendant des t?l?ph?riques. L??uvre s?ach?ve avec les sons grandioses du motif initial qui exprime ? nouveau la beaut? imposante de la couronne montagneuse.
